This is What a Feminist Looks Like

More on diversity inside feminism, this time from üaut;ber feminist Amanda Marcotte Pandagon, who says

It’s important not to listen to Marcia Pappas about anything—-her version of feminism doesn’t resemble our Earth’s version. She, for instance, suggested that Barack Obama was basically a rapist because he campaigned against Hillary Clinton.  Not an authority, but sadly, treated like one in the press, because she heads up New York NOW. And therefore, creates these awful situations where people get the mistaken impression that at least some feminists are saying X, when usually it’s just Marcia Pappas. 

She said it here.

So yeah. There really are feminists like that.

If you think the word “that” in the previous sentence was a reference to a single individual you’re sort of missing the point.
